Quotes by Jeff Pearlman (?)

“Everyone loves a success story,” says Newton. “And once you succeed, everyone loves tearing you down.”

“I was at a party in Beverly Hills, and everyone in sports was there. Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky, Kareem. And I spotted my idol—Hank Aaron! I walked up to him and introduced myself. He said, “I know who you are. You made a great decision going to the USFL.” I was shocked. Then he leaned in and whispered, “Tom, you always have to get the money. Get the fucking money. Because they don’t care about you.” —Tom Ramsey, quarterback, Los Angeles Express”

“Recalled Chuck Clanton, a junior cornerback: “When I saw him the first time I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, what the fuck is that?’ When he walked, his thighs naturally rubbed together. There was no fat. None. He had Earl Campbell thighs. But he was faster than Earl Campbell. If he had three percent body fat, that’d be a lot. He was all muscle. Like a tank from the future.”
― Jeff Pearlman, The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson
